heavy... tuned to the eons-long drone of the darkest creations of space and the ever evolving galaxy clusters that lie therein... give or take about 50 octaves.
We came together, initially, in friendship made thru our individual involvements in the DIY Punk/Hardcore/Metal(death to false, of course) community. Hometowns spanning from New Mexico to Kansas to Oklahoma, we currently reside in Lawrence, KS. '05/'06 began the process of shaping Samothrace into our present state. Heavy music for heavy times. The lyrics, albeit poetic, are rooted in the ideals of social change, political incoherence, and a bleak but positive outlook on life... intended for those who've taken back their breath and risen on their own and those who wish to do so.
Members are currently or have been involved with; Oroku, Lethe, Black Christmas, Sentient, The Fuktards, This Building Is Cursed, Short Bus Kids, Christianistan...
Samothrace is an evolving beast. Keep it heavy... keep it underground.
